Book Review: Specific recomendations for tools and supplies
Summary: 4 Stars
If you can get through the first chapter and its litany of horrors that await us in the 21st Century, you can find some practical and detailed information on everything from bird flu to home invasion to buying the best brand of gas mask. Edwards reads like Superman on speed.
But in-between and all around is sound advice on the basic stuff like keeping warm, sanitation and cooking. I wish I had his lists before I bought my supplies, because he compares brands and describes all the product attributes. My copy of the book is full of bookmarks, so I refine my supplies, I will upgrade to his recommended flashlights and stoves. This book stays handy for reference in future purchases.
